Just found out that college football players get $5.60 for every jersey sold with their name and number.
But also found out that the jerseys cost $150.
So, I just gave my son $5.60 and saved $145😁
True and very sad.
That is exactly how NIL is supposed to work in it's purest sense.
Before they were getting 0.00.
Progress.
Because demand is high.
If nobody wanted them at that price they would have to lower it.
Probably costs Nike $2 or less to make.
$150!? Good grief... like concert tickets, I've been officially priced out of the market.
Working to produce those typically quite nice jerseys in many of the poorer countries as they are often they are located in Asia (and sometimes elsewhere) but many in places like Thailand, Bangladesh, or Indonesia, as well as in China etc, etc, etc for the "sweat-shop" style of the huge labor factories where the "workers" must churn out dozens, upon dozens of those jerseys per each, while working very long hours per day (under sometimes terrible conditions too) if the TV documentaries that I have seen before are accurate (and why would I doubt them?) for each one of the "employees" (aka indentured servants) at mere pennies per jersey! That is just a sad #fact of it all too. 😔
